Chocolope / Hawaiian Snow - 2nd closet grow

Sup Dudes!!!

Just got my 2nd grow underway a couple of weeks ago, 1x chocolope and 1x hawaiian snow, both from attitude.
Planted straight into their adult pots after a 24hr soak in water, they broke the soil within another 24 hours :-P

I was happy with my 2 oz yield last time around (suits my hobbyist needs) so haven't tweaked my setup too much:
2x 58W fluoro's (I've picked up another 2x 36W's too, I'll chuck them up some time before flowering when I get around to it.
Shifted house since last grow, new closet is much shorter and a funny shape, I'll get some pics up some time. Plenty of grow space still, but a pain in the ass to water :sad:

Planted 14/03, up to day 14 now.

They both seem happy, I've had the lights a bit high so probably not growing as fast as they could have been but it's cool.

Feedback welcome/appreciated/encouraged/demanded.

Peace.

Day 21:

Things are progressing slower than I would have hoped, slower than on my last grow.
My theory is this (feedback on this appreciated): last time, I started in smaller pots before transplanting into these big pots, whereas this time I planted straight into these big pots. So I'm thinking that maybe these are putting more energy into root development at this early stage. Does anyone have experience with significant differences in growth rates depending on pot size (at seedling)?

Anyway, here's pics:

And this is my grow space, annoying to water :x

Update, day 35:

Really happy with their growth this week. As suspected, they've definitely hit veg and are soaking up nutes like champs. Been very slow so far, I know, but will be good speed now. Both developing well, but looks like the hawaiian snow is stretching much more than the chocolope, which is a bit of a shame, as i like to grow low and bushy (due to poor penetration of fluoros). But it's cool, I'll get amongst some LST later on.

update, day 42:

Things are progressing ok, Hawaiian snow is grow way faster than chocolope, so I've started doing a bit of LST on it.
The plants are looking kind of droopy today, as you can see in the pictures. They tend to do this now and then, but always seen to come right within a day.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Maybe heat? Would love some feedback. Cheers - makeshift

I have no idea why these are growing so slow, it's driving me crazy. I almost doubled my lighting since last time, plus added mylar, and they are still growing about twice as slow as my last grow. Any ideas anybody??

Plenty of roots:

Some leaves are turning a bit yellow on both plants, but it's not nitrogen - they even got a tiny bit of nute burn from their nitro.

Please guys, any feedback at all appreciated.
